Plain-English Summary

This bill would create new rules to help prevent scammers from using deepfake technology—realistic fake videos and audio recordings—to trick people into sending money or revealing personal financial information. Banks, financial institutions, and other companies would likely be required to implement safeguards to detect and warn customers about deepfake fraud attempts. The legislation aims to protect everyday people and businesses from increasingly sophisticated scams that exploit artificial intelligence to impersonate trusted figures like executives or family members.
